Written By Sarah Shaw

Alexandria is known for many things: charming architecture, rich history, waterfront walkways and its unbeatable food scene. From January 23 through February 1, Alexandria’s restaurants take center stage during Alexandria Restaurant Week, hosted by Visit Alexandria. Whether you’re looking to try something new or revisit a favorite spot, now is the time to book a reservation.

More than 90 restaurants are participating this season, offering special prix fixe dinner menus at $35, $45, and $55 per person, with the purpose of encouraging diners to move beyond their usual spots and experience the full range of Alexandria’s culinary landscape. From formal, romantic dinners to fast-casual restaurants, it’s easy to join in whether you’re planning a night out or a casual bite.

At its core, Alexandria Restaurant Week is about celebrating creativity in the kitchen. Chefs use this moment to showcase their range, experiment with seasonal ingredients, and offer menus that feel both approachable and special. The result is a citywide invitation to try something new, revisit a longtime favorite, or finally book a table that’s been on your list for months.

So mark you calendars and get those reservations going because Alexandria Restaurant Week is the feast you don’t want to miss! Check out the full list of participating restaurants here.
